What's mildly amusing you today?

I would never have sworn in front of my Gran but then she was in her 80s when I was in my teens.

Probably closer to your generation would be my mum (70s) and she doesn't give a toss about swearing as long as it is in an appropriate setting and done with style

Example: interview for a job? No swearing / with my mates at the pub? fill your boots

In the house of someone who swears? Absolutely / In the house of someone who finds it offensive? absolutely not

I have very much the same attitude.

They are just words. They have whatever power or force we imbue them with.

There is nothing inherently offensive about the word 'fuck'.
